Ok, I'm not really running away, but if any of you have seen my facebook page recently I talked about starting the Couch to 5k program. Tomorrow will be my first LONG (for me) run. Two straight miles, no stopping, walking, crying, or I can'ts will be tolerated!! I believe tomorrow will be more of a mental challenge for me than physical. 4 years ago tomorrow, my dad passed away. Ironic to me that my first hard run will fall on that day. I mentioned to my friend Lisa, I've run in freezing temps, rain, snow, sleet and with ice on the ground, so I'm taking this as a challenge issued from above.... I've mapped out my route, and it's hard, I'm hoping I have a bright sunny day tomorrow...preferably above freezing...lol :)
Other than getting myself back in shape, I've started working on the Relay for Life for this year!! I already have over 30 shops offering to donate items for our auction baskets and will be starting to work on the Memory and Honor quilt soon! You can check out all of the items that were donated, the auction and quilt from last year here and here!!
If you are interested or would like more info about it, shoot me an message at thepineconeteacup@cinci.rr.com, and I'll send you all the details!!

Look for pics of all the donations as the start coming in here too!! I'll be sharing all of the fantastic shops and pics of everything they send!!

About Me

Well, ya know, I never know what to say about myself...so let's see, sometimes my head gets way ahead of my hands...but a lot of times my mouth gets way ahead of my head :)!! I'm a wife and mother, a marathon runner, ring leader of a 3 ring circus! I love to work with my hands! I love to paint, stitch, draw...and I desperately wish I could have learned from my dad before he was gone how he made those crazy little wooden puzzles that I could never figure out :) Some day I'd love to make my own furniture! I love new running shoes, power tools, I love old cars, I wish my husband and I could rebuild an old camaro...someday I guess! For now, I'll be busy raising my babies, running and making things that make people smile!!
